What can be called an unsolvable thing?
It's those things that keep you in an infinite loop.
You want to find time to study, improve your ability and get rid of the busy state, but you find yourself too busy to study at all.
You want to earn the first pot of gold in your life by starting a business, but you can't do it without starting a business.
You want to enter a room, but the key is in the room. If you want to get the key, you must go in first.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, etc.
And there are two typical examples-the poor will get poorer and poorer, and the busy people will get busier and busier.
You may argue that many people have upgraded from poverty to wealth. I don't deny that there are many people, but what I mean is to look at this problem from a national or global perspective, not from a case study.
The two authors of Scarcity specialize in poverty and busyness. They have done such research. What will happen if subsidies are given to the poor? The result of the study is that the poor will not consider such things as insurance, investment and study, but will only buy more daily necessities.
Why is this? Because of lack.
The more you lack something, the more you will pay attention to it, and then fall into the "scarcity" mode, and you can't see other more important things.
The poorer you are, the more you will make survival decisions, the less you will consider making money in the long run, and the poorer you will be.
The busier you are, the less time you have to think. The less time you have to think, the busier you will be.
This is an infinite cycle, one game after another, which keeps you trapped and makes you unable to move.
Then how to break it? The answer is: broken thinking.
Only by breaking the existing situation can you see a wider world.
The so-called bureau is the system. Breaking the game means breaking the existing system and entering a larger system.
Don't understand? Just give a few examples.
I left my key in my room, but if you want to go in, you can call the lock company to open the door.
You can't start a business without the first bucket of gold? Now that there are so many venture capitalists, you can look for investment.
Too busy to study? If the pressure of life is not too great, you can take time to improve yourself after resigning. If life is stressful, you can also pay more attention to those who are better than yourself at work and learn from them. Work itself is learning.
There used to be only keys and rooms, but now there are more lock-picking companies.
Originally, there was only entrepreneurship and the first bucket of gold, but now there is more investment.
Have you found that the original bureau has expanded?
Enlarging the bureau is breaking the bureau.
Many people actually know exactly where they are, but often choose to turn a blind eye and leave the problem there.
So you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?
When I just graduated from college, I listened to my mother and went to a large state-owned enterprise. Although the work at that time was good, but the drought and flood ensured the harvest, the unit gave a house
But I regretted it immediately after work.
Some people will say that even if you get a bargain, it's a lie. How difficult it is to find such a job! Not exactly. Think about it. I had just graduated from college at that time. I have a low salary and a house in this job, but I am trapped in this small circle.
So at that time, I was caught in a local death cycle and had a stable job, but my geographical location was relatively biased. I dare not jump out easily. If I jump out, my house will be gone.
Although I didn't know I was caught in a game at that time, I vaguely felt that this was not what I wanted, and I had to find a way to get myself out.
Proper stress is a good thing, because it will make you think.
At that time, I did two things, one of which was to jump ship. I started as a technician, but that's not my favorite job, so I applied to the company for internal job-hopping and went to the office, starting with the most basic data analysis, until I gradually got a big picture and comprehensive thinking.
Another thing is studying. In addition to learning professional knowledge in data, I also learned knowledge in network, nutrition, marketing and management. It was during that time that I learned more about the Internet and found the direction of my life, so I had the opportunity to switch to social e-commerce today and seized this opportunity.
This is a game I have experienced and the process of breaking it. Although it is clear now that this is a game, it was only a vague feeling at that time.
Sometimes you may not see it in the game. People will encounter all kinds of games in this life, so be prepared to break the game for life.
Then how to break the game? There are two ways, one is called reform and the other is called revolution.
What is reform? Reform is to access a new chain and step by step.
When you find yourself in a negative cycle, you should try to form a good habit that can break the game.
For example, study, exercise and so on. Tearing a hole from this game, connected with a good habit, gradually formed a positive cycle. The example of my work just now is the practice of reform. I connected two new chains, one is job-hopping and the other is learning.
The practice of reform is relatively mild, because the change is not so great, and it is a gradual process, but it is extremely difficult to do it, because the initial stage of reform is often counterintuitive, and there are great traps in it.
Why is it anti-conscious? Because in the beginning, it will only make things worse and worse. You are already very busy, and you have to spend time studying, so you will be busier, and learning is a long-term thing to see the effect, so the initial reform will get worse and worse.
So many people simply give up, because they can't see the effect, and the result is to fall into the cycle of death again.
Running to lose weight is such a logic. I wanted to lose weight and made a running plan, but after running for a few days, I found that it had no effect at all, and then I stopped running.
This is the biggest trap of reform-looking at the time period too short. You must understand the concept of long period. Many short-term feelings and long-term interests often run counter to each other, but you are too sensitive to short-term feelings to insist.
As for the long cycle, I like Bezos' business philosophy very much-
After talking about reform, let's talk about revolution.
What is a revolution? Revolution means stepping on the brakes, that is, stopping in an infinite cycle directly. For example, if you are too busy to grow up, quit your job and spend time studying to improve your ability.
But many people are afraid to do so, because there is so much social pressure now, and there are too many uncertainties in this practice. What if it doesn't work? So it takes a lot of courage to make this choice.
Each of us is like a high-speed computer. I have been asked to run various programs since I was a child, and I can't stop working in primary schools, high schools and universities.
So if one day you stop to write your own program, all the computers around you are still running at high speed, and even laugh at why you don't move, and then leave you far behind.
So sometimes making certain choices, even if you are firm inside, will still be very painful.
But the good news is, you are still young. So, while there is still enthusiasm and courage, hit a wall with the least cost.
Many people repeat it day after day, but dream of a different future. This is ridiculous.
Growing up is painful, and not growing up is even more painful.
Learn to think in a higher dimension and don't let your efforts be in vain?
You can watch some games, such as "infinite loop" game. But there are some games you can't see at all. I call them "Seismological Bureau".
You may wonder why you chose such a strange name. The reason is very simple, because the earthquake, no matter how well the building is repaired, it is useless.
There is a saying in "Three-body": Destroying you has nothing to do with you. This sentence refers to the "earthquake" bureau, because this bureau, often the most core part, was hit.
The root of a tree is destroyed, and it is useless for all the trunks, branches and leaves on it to grow well.
For example, two students graduated from 20 10 university, one entered Tencent and the other entered the newspaper. What will happen to them?
Eight years later, the classmate who went to Tencent earned millions of dollars a year, and headhunters all over the street were digging for him. Investors are also digging him up, and they will give money as long as they come out to start a business.
As for the students who went to the newspaper, because the newspaper declined, the whole industry he once pinned his ideals on was gone, and everything needed to start again.
You should have heard the saying-think up and down. The one who went to the newspaper was demoted and hit. When he was elected on 20 10, he couldn't see his bureau.
This is not to say that there is much difference between two people's abilities, nor that there is something wrong with the leaders they follow. The core problem is that the economies to which these two units are attached, one is rising rapidly and the other is collapsing rapidly.
Professor Ceng Ming of Lakeside University mentioned a concept-point, line and surface. And this concept was also used by Liang Ning in her product thinking class "Liang Ning-30 Lectures on Product Thinking" opened in the APP.
Let me explain this concept roughly. This is a system-level dependency. Imagine a cuboid and see if it is like this. Points must be attached to lines, lines to faces, and faces to bodies.
What does this have to do with you?
No matter how well you do in a company, this company will go bankrupt, such as Nokia. No matter how well a company does, the whole industry has been subverted, such as feature phones. No matter how well an industry does, the economies it depends on have declined, such as some countries in Europe.
It's called ruining you. What's it to you? The world is changing at an accelerated pace. If the direction is wrong, it's no use trying again.
So when we make a choice, we should not only stare at the point, but also see the line behind the point. Of course, this is not to let everyone speculate, but to tell everyone that they should always look at their environment.
What is a miserable life?
In fact, many people don't get along well in the workplace, not because your professional ability is not strong, or you don't work hard enough, but because your choices are wrong.
The fundamental way to break this situation is to see clearly the hierarchical structure of points, lines and planes. You should always look at your environment.
But just look at the environment? That's not enough. You should at least take action, but there is another huge trap. In fact, many people can see this game.
For example, you can see the emerging new things such as celebrity economy, artificial intelligence and industrial internetization, but you still do nothing. Why?
I don't know if you have noticed that some people stay in a company with no future, don't resign or change careers, and stay in a loveless relationship instead of leaving.
Is the other party good to TA? Is there a promise? Not exactly.
It's that the other party caught TA's fear, tied him up and couldn't move.
TA is afraid that she can't find a good job after resigning, that she suddenly loses her sense of security in life, that she is not loved, and that she is afraid of being told by others. ...
The more fearful people are, the more eager they are for the stability of certainty.
This is the biggest trap of this kind of game. Fear will trap a person's hands and feet, and then lose many opportunities.
In fact, everyone has fear, and it often happens, so how to deal with it? I have some immature suggestions for your reference.
When I make my own choices, I often ask myself a question: what is the worst result of this matter? Can I accept the worst result?
Every time I ask this question, I find that my inner fear and the worst result are not an order of magnitude at all.
Fear is sometimes just fear itself. Only by facing your fears can you control your life.
Your cognition determines your life.
Some time ago, I read a book called The Finite and Infinite Game. At the beginning of this book, I pointed out:
After reading the whole book, my biggest feeling is that limited games and unlimited games can actually be transformed into each other, and the key point of this transformation lies in your cognition and your view of the boundary.
There are at least two kinds of boundaries, one is called time boundary and the other is called space boundary.
So looking back, the boundary of a bureau determines the size of the bureau. The "infinite cycle" bureau corresponds to the time boundary and the "earthquake" bureau corresponds to the space boundary. The essence of these two kinds of boundaries is cognitive boundary.
Both of these games are cognitive games in essence.
So the difference between experts and ordinary people is that experts can see the development of things, find the relationship between the past, the present and the future, understand the real laws behind things, and see the system level behind things.
So experts can see bigger games.
There is a movie in the United States called The Truman Show, which tells a story. A director named Christopher made a documentary soap opera, which was very popular all over the country. The play broadcast live every move of a young man named Truman for 24 hours. The most important thing is that Truman didn't know.
In fact, Truman was sent to a small town called Taoyuan Island since he was a child. This small town is the director's "studio", and everything in it is arranged in perfect order.
Truman grew up slowly in this small town, and other people in this small town paid attention to everyone, including Truman's parents, wife, colleagues and so on. They are all actors in this drama, that is to say, they are playing a live-action drama with Truman, but Truman doesn't know it himself, and his every move is under monitoring. There are countless cameras everywhere in this town.
Later, Truman gradually realized that something was wrong and wanted to get out of Taoyuan Island. After all kinds of difficulties, he finally broke through the bureau controlled by the director and escaped from the virtual world.
Taoyuan Island was set up by the director for Truman, but each of us can ask ourselves, in our own cognition, are you both the director and Truman himself?
All restrictions are self-restrictions.
What is true freedom? True freedom is the right to choose anytime and anywhere.
American President Roosevelt was unfortunately robbed of his home. A friend wrote to comfort him, but he wrote back like this: "I should thank the thief."
First, the thief only stole my things and didn't hurt me. Second, the thief only stole some of my things, not all of them. Third, fortunately, the thief was him, not me. "
Remember the classic lines in The Shawshank Redemption-
You know some birds are not meant to be caged, and every feather of them shines with freedom.
Some birds can never be caged, because each of their wings is covered with the glory of freedom.
Andy is trapped in prison. In extreme cases, it took him 20 years to break the game.
So in this world, no one can limit you unless you agree.
There are always people who are destined to live at the limit all their lives and want to touch the boundaries of their abilities all their lives.
For them, every day in their lives, they are busy for themselves and constantly break through one game after another in their lives.
If you can see this, please like it at the bottom!
